Former President Donald Trump is counting on female voters to support his comeback bid to the White House, according to a new report.
The news comes as the former president found strong support among the key voter segment in New Hampshire.

"Trump leads Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in the RealClearPolitics average, with a significant boost among women voters in a head-to-head contest with the Florida governor in states such as New Hampshire, Iowa, and Arizona," the Washington Examiner reported.
"In New Hampshire, polling shows Trump received 56% of female support compared to DeSantis's 30%. Similarly, Trump holds 48% in Iowa and 58% in Arizona among female voters, compared to DeSantis's 35% and 28%, respectively," it added.

Trump beats Ron with Woman Voters. "Trumps woman vote problem" narrative is garbage.

"For although Trump's problems with women are well known — from a sexual assault conviction in New York court this year and a hush money payment to a porn star to his struggles to attract female suburban voters in general elections — polling for DailyMail.com shows it is MAGA women who are behind his huge primary lead," the outlet reported.
"In the key nominating states of Iowa and New Hampshire as well as the general election battleground of Arizona he holds a double-digit advantage over DeSantis among women," it continued.
The surprising results come as other GOP candidates have invested their time and money into early states like Iowa and New Hampshire in an attempt to upset Trump's lead.
So far, even New Hampshire polls favor the former president, with no expectations for the numbers to change in the months ahead of the primary votes.
However, Trump remains marred by multiple legal battles that will be key to his battle during the upcoming primary races, with some hoping his star power will weaken to allow others to close the gap.
For now, women are a key driving force behind Trump's success, offering a path to the nomination in his potential rematch against President Joe Biden.
